It was sitting in the corner, not bothering anyone. Paper Retriever is doing a wonderful job helping the environment. Then, I thought, let me help its effort by giving them a presence on the map. Paper Retriever has hundreds of bins across the city of Houston. This particular one always has closed lids, which preventing them from becoming dumpsters.

A few extra bucks in my pocket later and we were off to the nearby Waffle House. No muss, no fuss, we got paid a little to deliver it ourselves instead of paying a lot for someone to cart it away, and everyone we met at Spring Scrap Metal Recycling was enthusiastic and kind. 5 Stars all the way!

Recycle! It's the mantra in this household…read more We recycle everything - and I mean everything possible. To have a scrap metal recycler so close to home is an added bonus. Yes, you will receive some cash for your metal (don't expect the proverbial gold mine, though). And you're helping a local business - plus you're reducing the volume of waste that ends up in landfills. Always very friendly staff here. Parking is adequate, since you're really not here for very long - they're very quick to take your metal, weigh it and pay you a set price per pound. Exiting back onto Kuykendahl (especially if you're heading south) can be a challenge, though. Keep that in mind when you're ready to leave.

I called before going in and they lured me in with how much they were going to pay me and they tried to rush me to sign what I was selling them. I was like wait you're not even telling me how much it weighed. When they told me 120 pounds instead of the 160 something I weighed at home I was like ummm no! Made them re weigh it and magically it turned to 155-160, I told them you're scale is off by the way. They told me this is a $2000-$3000 dollar scale and I didn't know what I was taking about. I told them you should be ashamed of yourself that my $100 scale weighs better than yours. Bad business.

Stopped on a Thursday morning and the drop off wait system is confusing. There are apparently 2 lines, one for the dump waste and one for recycling. But you can't tell where one starts or ends. Drove in and was a bit confused about the process. 2 men standing outside, neither acknowledge me. I get out of the car and a young lady comes out of the building and asks to help me. I explain to her what I'm dropping off and she asks me if it works. I say yes. I said it has these burn marks on the inside (one of the caveats of this Cuisinart model was that it's difficult to remove heat or grease marks - main complaint from most consumers and there are no replacement parts) She tells me to back in and take it out of the car. As I open the trunk, the guy finally acknowledges me and asks the lady if it works. She tells him what I said. And he yells, we aren't going to take it bc it's dirty. I respond "it's not dirty, there are burn marks that you can't remove, let me show you. " He says, "we don't recycle dirty equipment". I look at the dirty washing machine he is fixing and said fine and walk off. The young lady apologizes repeatedly and suggest I give it to one of the guys waiting in the long line for the dump side. I ended up going to the Westpark location where the employees are nice and polite. Maybe he was having a bad day or deals with crap people but I didn't do anything deserve to be treated so rudely. Nevertheless, I will stick to Westpark.
